Resistant and immune are two different things, I have Double Knock Out roses that are resistant to Black Spot disease, yet every year they do get a little Black Spot. They just look better, and dont defoliate as bad as other roses do. I could tell your banana was virused in the earlier posts before you mentioned the variegation. Its very disappointing to get a virused plant, I know I have bought Cannas that have been virused and had to discard them. Pisang Ceylon may be resistant to this virus, but factors like being stressed, and weakened can make it susceptible to being infected, because it is not fully immune, just resistant. Some plants can be carriers of a virus with the virus dormant. When the plant is stressed by cold or some other factor, the virus surfaces even though the plant never had symptoms before. I have seen this with Cannas, and also with colocasia with feathery mottle virus. Nobody is trying to put down your plant, but you need to be aware of it. If you have other bananas in your collection they may also be infected if the two plants have common pests, or you use the same cutting tools on them. I am not saying to destroy it, but at least dont use unsanitized cutting tools on it and then others in your collection. And be aware that during this time, sucking insects may spread the virus to your uninfected bananas. Good luck.
